Where this sits
In HASAMI's cutting scissors lineup the HASAMI GSC occupies the mid-range tier, priced between the HASAMI Kata 5.75" and the HASAMI Fit. It uses VG-10.
The GSC is a classic in the HASAMI range. The subtle curve of the grip — the GSC handle — positions the thumb closer to the finger holes, shortening thumb travel distance and reducing elbow rise during the cutting stroke. HASAMI describes this as the handle shape that pioneered the ergonomic offset style now common across the industry.
Blades are ground from VG-10 steel, which the brand notes provides incomparable softness through the cut. Available in five sizes from 5.0” to 7.0”, and in thinning versions. Left-handed models are also offered.
For current pricing and availability, see the HASAMI brand page.

Professional Opinion
The GSC handle earned its reputation by shortening thumb travel and keeping the elbow down through the cutting stroke, small changes that add up over years behind the chair. Five sizes from 5.0 to 7.0 plus left-handed options make it accessible to almost any working stylist.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades clean after each client
- Oil the pivot point regularly
- Professional sharpening when edge dulls
